EMDR is a psychotherapy technique that stimulates the body’s own natural healing mechanism through the uses of eye movements, auditory cues, or other bilateral stimulation. This type of therapy is shown to reduce the symptoms of trauma including the manifestation of mental health conditions like post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), anxiety, depression, and phobias.
We endorse EMDR as one of the top treatments for trauma patients, as does the US Military. Participants of effective EMDR Therapy may experience lower intensity and frequency of distressing memories, improved emotional regulation, decreased avoidance and phobias, and enhanced self-esteem.
I am a trauma survivor. Through my own counseling experiences, I have fortunately healed and built my life back up from where I was. Knowing that long road, and how much harder it is to reach that inner peace without a guide, I started Avon Trauma Recovery Institute in 2025 as a way to help other survivors heal as well.

Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing Therapy involves moving the eyes a specific way while one processes traumatic memories. EMDR is a relatively new therapy, but dozens of studies show this technique can produce results faster than many other methods.
CBT helps increase awareness of one’s harmful thinking patterns in order to change them. Looking at the relationship between one’s thoughts, feelings and behaviors helps patients view challenging situations more clearly and respond to them in a more effective way.
DBT combines individual therapy techniques with group skills training to help people manage difficult emotions and behaviors. It focuses on helping people accept the reality of their lives and their behaviors, while also helping them learn how to change their unhelpful behaviors.
